The pimple looking spot is normal and should go within 2 days or so but if worried you can dab a tiny drop of tea tree oil on it and encourages healing. If it gets worse though take her to a pharmacist and they can look and give you something. Do you have Savlon as you can use that

I have tcp ?same thing ? Hope it does go shes itchy like crazy which ive told her to try avoid worried incase it gets infected. I used baby oil to help take it off do you think that cud have caused it?any advise in how to take off?

Although expensive for what they are, 5.00 a box in tesco they have medical adhesive wipes if u ask at pharmacy. best thing I've ever used got removing sticky stuff off skin.

I wouldn't think babyoil would cause a rash but you never know. Might be the scent smell in it.
You could try vegetable oil as that might be better. On Monday try to get some Liftplus adhesive remover online free sample Opus
